Modern & Contemporary Homes for Sale in Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach has drawn modern architects for generations, and its steep, view-rich lots suit the style: homes that step down the hillside with walls of glass toward the ocean. Contemporary homes sit beside the cottages and mid-century landmarks that give the town its character.

North Laguna and the oceanfront from Woods Cove to Victoria Beach have some of the most ambitious new homes on the coast, and the hills above town have glass houses with views up and down the coast.
